AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION STATEMENT OF
SUPPORT FOR OBAMACARE REPEAL RESOLUTION (S.Con.Res 3)
It is not often that the Senate is presented with such a clear
opportunity to roll back a destructive regulatory program like
Obamacare, which has not only subjugated the American healthcare system
to the command and control of the federal government, but also
eliminated the ability of millions of American consumers to freely
choose their own health plan and doctors. As we embark on a new era of
public policy, we must swiftly move beyond the failed practices of the
past and boldly pass legislation that positively impacts all Americans,
not just special interests and empowered government bureaucracy.
We understand that the current Obamacare Repeal Resolution under debate will likely conclude next Wednesday
and be followed by a vote. Passing this resolution is the first step in
using budget reconciliation to allow a vote that will strip out a
massive portion of Obamacare. Removing that selection will do the
following:
• Eliminate the mandate penalties.
• Eliminate the exchange subsidies.
• Repeal Medicaid expansion.
• Defund Planned Parenthood and redirect funds to Community Health Centers that do not perform abortions.
• Eliminate new and/or higher taxes.
We believe passing the repeal resolution will be the first step in the
process of eradicating the onerous regulatory overreach of the Obama
Administration and allowing a platform for the conservative value of
reducing the role of excessive government in our lives. Americans
deserve a healthcare system that puts patients and doctors in control.
The repeal of the Affordable Care Act will begin the end to big
government control and restore the principles this great nation was
founded on.
Sincerely,
Dan Schneider
Executive Director, American Conservative Union |
